The Elephant Keepers' Children

In The Elephant Keepers’ Children, 14-year-old Peter narrates the story of his three siblings navigating the complexities of life with their eccentric parents—a devout vicar father and artisan mother—on the fictional island of Finø. When their parents mysteriously disappear, the siblings grapple with the fear that their parents’ fervent efforts to attract churchgoers have led them into peril. Blending humor and poignancy, the tale delves into themes of fundamentalism, spiritual freedom, love, and the resilience of the human spirit.
